Messy fun planned at Carnegie Science Center
Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh, kicks off the new year on Jan. 1 with MessFest, the slimy, yucky and gooey one-of-a-kind tradition, now in its 12th year. MessFest features four floors of hands-on, messy activities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for visitors of all ages who are advised to dress down.
Gooey-substance-turned-solid-turned-liquid Oobleck returns as a fan favorite. The Egg Zipline activity invites visitors to engineer a package for raw eggs that will protect their “egg-stronauts” as they are sent hurtling toward the Science Stage. Kids can become messy artists with finger painting and compete in a pudding “pi”-eating contest. Other activities include making prints with bubbles, using polymers to make snow, and seeing explosive reactions.
MessFest activities are included with general admission to the Science Center. For information, visit CarnegieScienceCenter.org or call 412-237-3400.
